About Me
I'm Devesh Takoor, and I'm a Full Stack Developer, I am enthusiastic about all aspects of programming and willing to master new and existing programming skills. As a participant and now as a mentor, I have been representing Mauritius in the FIRST Global Challenge (Olympics of Robotics) since 2019. I am also a performing artist (musician and actor in short films, sketches, and skits) at various levels(nationally and internationally). In addition, I am a nature lover who spends the most of my time outdoors (forest, lakes, mountains, deep-sea explorations). Possess strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities that aid in the resolution of nearly every difficulty encountered during projects. Have the capability to manage a team and distribute it properly.

As our dependence on energy continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important to innovate the solutions that will ensure a cleaner and more equitable energy future around the world. While renewable energy comes from natural sources that are continually replenished, including the sun, wind, geothermal heat, and water, Hydrogen-based energy technologies allow for enhanced methods of carrying and storing this energy. The 2023 FIRST Global Challenge challenged FIRST Global teams to reimagine the future of energy by harnessing the power of hydrogen to create more sustainable ways to power our planet.
24 hours flat to create a website: this is the challenge that the teams from the Comoros Islands, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion Island and Rodrigues had to take on. During this competition, each of the islands competes simultaneously with the same subject. This year, the participants' mission was to create a website for a young start-up, which offers to save data (holograms, photos, videos, etc.) in secure time capsules. The objective is to provide future generations, on earth and in the universe, with a testimony of its existence. This is a science fiction theme that invites participants to show creativity and imagination. Along the way, additional demands were placed on the participants, to spice
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a heat-trapping greenhouse gas that affects the surface temperatures on Earth. Continually rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are contributing to widespread global warming and climate change. By capturing and storing the CO2, we can reduce and prevent it from accumulating in our atmosphere, thus slowing global warming. The 2022 FIRST Global Challenge introduced a key concept to limiting the negative effects of climate change on our planet and challenged FIRST Global teams to reimagine the future of Earth’s climate through carbon capture and storage processes.
Students at secondary level often face two problems, one of them is that they forget to bring their copy books or books to school and the other is they tend to have a messy table which again leads to not finding their belongings on their table. The eSPR allows the student to have an organized table and also it tells them which subject they have the particular day so that they save up time in matching their timetables
Communities have all been touched by difficult challenges in various aspects of their lives as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this time has also shown that STEM provides critical answers to COVID-19 and other major events. In that spirit, the fifth edition of the FIRST Global Challenge focused on advancing new ways STEM can prioritize practical solutions and counter the effects of the problems youth and their communities continue to face across the world. Under the theme of “Discover & Recover,” the virtual Challenge consisted of three main components, enabling students to strengthen their technical and soft skills, as well as bring benefit to their communities.
The COVID-19 pandemic required a shift for the fourth edition of the FIRST Global Challenge. Despite not being able to convene in person, teams remained connected under the theme of “Connecting Communities,” engaging with various content to strengthen their technical and soft skills, as well as bring benefit to their communities.
During the Covid-19 period lots of people were being infected by negligence, one of them was exposing too much person for works that could be done automatically, which is why I decided to do a sanitiser dispenser which could also check your temperature reading at lower prices as it was expenses to import at that time and also decreases 2 persons at work. The project was then modified later for ketchup, oil, etc dispenser by removing the temperature sensor.
Participating in the FIRST Global Challenge 2019 is for me a great honour. I’m not so expressive to describe how I feel about this competition. However, my participation in this challenge will certainly enable me to evaluate my knowledge and improve my skills as well as to enhance my academic/interpersonal skills. I believe that this competition will allow me to represent not only my country on the international scene but also to acquire other skills other than technical ones that will help me to achieve my future projects.
